Chocolate!

Parent to child:  What should we get Mrs.ABC for the end of the year?
Genius child replies: Mom, I think Mrs. ABC needs the biggest chocolate bar you can find!!

LOVE! Only 170 calories for 4 lil squares.   :-)

Chinese?

A very Caucasian looking student in my class has been squinting all year.  And I don't just mean a bit... he looks up and squints to see me... he always has his nose in a book... literally, because he most likely has trouble seeing the words.  He sits at the very front, and I almost laugh every time he looks up and squints.  I told him he should see an optometrist, I've emailed home, I wrote in his report card comment this term.  
He comes to class the other day and says, "Mrs. ABC!  I know why I squint!"
"Oh really! Are you getting glasses?"
"Oh no, I found out I'm part Chinese, and they have squinty eyes, so that's why I squint!"

Sometimes I wonder if the word GULLIBLE or DUMB is written across my face!

Shapes...

A 10 year old student approaches me holding an orange geometric shape. (psst. It was a square)
He says, "Mrs. ABC... umm.... this IS a square, right?"

I stared... and stared... finally, when I overcame my horror, I simply nodded.

Seriously??

A student approaches me with a white piece of paper full of sand.  
"Look, Mrs. ABC!"
"Umm... Yes?"
"This is what I just got out of my head!"

Excuse me while I go puke.
